British Lionhearts lose to Mexico in the WSB quarter-finals

The British Lionhearts have lost to Mexico in the World Series of Boxing last eight.

After winning the first leg 4-1, the GB squad were defeated 5-0 at altitude in Foro Polanco on Friday.

Sean McGoldrick, Sam Maxwell, Kaupo Arro, Babacar Kamara and Uaine Fa all suffered points defeats against a strong Mexican lineup.

Despite the loss, Great Britain performance director Rob McCracken reflected positively about the experience.

"It was always going to be tough boxing at such high altitude," said McCracken.

"Despite some creditable performances, the team just couldn't do enough to get a result on this occasion.

"The World Series Of Boxing is a very tough competition which features many of the best young boxers in the world, and I think the Lionhearts have done well in their first season."

John Joe Nevin and Andrew Selby in particular had impressed in the Lionhearts' opening leg victory at London's York Hall last week.
